Game Day Gear: Syracuse Orange

There was plenty of gear to scope out at this years Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic over this past weekend. Syracuse and Georgetown squared off at M&T Bank Stadium before a crowd of seventeen thousand plus.

Syracuse was out in their home uniforms and out in style being fully outfitted with STX, Nike and Cascade gear for a game that many expected to be a wash turned into arguably the best game of the weekend. Georgetown took the #1 ranked Orangemen into OT with a goal in the last minute of the fourth quarter.

A few items on the Syracuse gear to point out were first the subtle block S on the lower back of the Nike jerseys. Along with the helmet decals "2" which paid tribute to the legacy to the late Syracuse goalie Travis Solomon who was overcome by Lou Gehrig's disease and a Shamrock with the initials "JFM" in the center to pay tribute to the late Syracuse Stickman's Club president John McElroy honoring his Irish heritage. Details that from far away may have gone unnoticed, but we made sure you could get an up close look at the 'Cuse outfits.
